So even though this room isn’t quite done yet, you can see why I had to share this project!
I think these were so successful because of the type of moss that I happened to pick up.It’s kind of got these long, twisty strands that lock together nicely the more you coax them into shape.
And it also happened to be the cheapest kind of moss at the craft store!Here’s the label.. No fancy specialty mosses for me!Plain and simple.
I think it was around $6 Canadian for the big bag, which, with the exchange rate, probably works out to roughly free in US dollars.. To make a nest, all you need to do is cut off a small blob of moss.About a handful should do the trick for most of your Easter nest needs..
It definitely can get a little messy, so work somewhere that you can sweep up easily..
Hold your moss blob with your thumb in the middle and press down to start the indentation for the middle of the nest.. Keep shaping the moss into a nest shape, almost as if you were working with clay.Pop back here tomorrow when I’ll show you how to transfer an image onto fabric using your printer and wax paper!.
Linking up with.The Inspired Room’s Holiday Nesting Party!I’m so excited to show you all my Fall Fantel for this year!
In case you’re just joining us and haven’t been around for previous incarnations of my Fantel, we use that term to mean a fake mantel.Cause I don’t have a real one yet, but should I be left out on account of that?
